Does each character begin with default black eyes? I donnt mean eye shapes, I know they depend on your answers to Rover. I mean the actual colour of eyes.I think I've seen a few vids (e.g. Wiijoshfolder) and eyes are brown without Shampoodles...?

Mayor of Foxwood! Looking for friends to play with :)

I think it might be random, because Kohei from Lin and Ko and Josh have the same face but started out with different coloured eyes. I saw a video today where a guy started out with blue/grey eyes, so I believe it's totally random. I could be wrong though.

All eyes are black when beginning except for a few, like 1-2 eyes, one being the "girly" eyes Josh has in the English ACNL games, and another I can't quite remember. 95% of all "ACNL Part 1" videos you find show only black eyes.

The bitter truth is better than the sweetest lie.

Yes I have also seen a video where a character starts off with brown eyes! It's the video on the New Leaf website, the one about becoming the mayor. When the girl walks off the train, she has brown eyes. So it must be random! I was wondering the same thing...

"Those videos might've been edited or something, because the Animal Crossing New Leaf Wiki, they're all black."

Or the Wiki might have changed all the eye colours to black to look consistent so that players wouldn't get the impression that some eyes had different colours than others, since that's the way it was in previous games.

I love the smell of downed UFO in the morning!
No random FCRs please. Seeking villagers: Phoebe, Julian, Jitters

I believe the english version of the game has you start with colored eyes rather than just black. I believe the color is specific to the set of eyes, to match the color that the eyes were in previous games.
